Abstract This paper proposes a novel open set recognition method, the Spatial Distribution Feature Extraction Network (SDFEN), to address the problem of electromagnetic signal recognition in an open environment. The spatial distribution feature extraction layer in SDFEN replaces convolutional output neural networks with the spatial distribution features that focus more on inter-sample information by incorporating class center vectors. The designed hybrid loss function considers both intra-class distance and inter-class distance, thereby enhancing the similarity among samples of the same class and increasing the dissimilarity between samples of different classes during training. Consequently, this method allows unknown classes to occupy a larger… More >

Abstract Pose-invariant facial expression recognition (FER) is an active but challenging research topic in computer vision. Especially with the involvement of diverse observation angles, FER makes the training parameter models inconsistent from one view to another. This study develops a deep global multiple-scale and local patches attention (GMS-LPA) dual-branch network for pose-invariant FER to weaken the influence of pose variation and self-occlusion on recognition accuracy. In this research, the designed GMS-LPA network contains four main parts, i.e., the feature extraction module, the global multiple-scale (GMS) module, the local patches attention (LPA) module, and the model-level fusion model. The feature extraction module… More >

Abstract The performance of a speech emotion recognition (SER) system is heavily influenced by the efficacy of its feature extraction techniques. The study was designed to advance the field of SER by optimizing feature extraction techniques, specifically through the incorporation of high-resolution Mel-spectrograms and the expedited calculation of Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC). This initiative aimed to refine the system’s accuracy by identifying and mitigating the shortcomings commonly found in current approaches. Ultimately, the primary objective was to elevate both the intricacy and effectiveness of our SER model, with a focus on augmenting its proficiency in the accurate identification of emotions… More >

Abstract Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems have emerged as indispensable tools across a wide spectrum of applications, ranging from transcription services to voice-activated assistants. To enhance the performance of these systems, it is important to deploy efficient models capable of adapting to diverse deployment conditions. In recent years, on-demand pruning methods have obtained significant attention within the ASR domain due to their adaptability in various deployment scenarios. However, these methods often confront substantial trade-offs, particularly in terms of unstable accuracy when reducing the model size. To address challenges, this study introduces two crucial empirical findings. Firstly, it proposes the incorporation of… More >

Abstract Sanxingdui cultural relics are the precious cultural heritage of humanity with high values of history, science, culture, art and research. However, mainstream analytical methods are contacting and detrimental, which is unfavorable to the protection of cultural relics. This paper improves the accuracy of the extraction, location, and analysis of artifacts using hyperspectral methods. To improve the accuracy of cultural relic mining, positioning, and analysis, the segmentation algorithm of Sanxingdui cultural relics based on the spatial spectrum integrated network is proposed with the support of hyperspectral techniques. Firstly, region stitching algorithm based on the relative position of hyper spectrally collected data… More >

Abstract With the rapid advancement of wearable devices, Human Activities Recognition (HAR) based on these devices has emerged as a prominent research field. The objective of this study is to enhance the recognition performance of HAR by proposing an LSTM-1DCNN recognition algorithm that utilizes a single triaxial accelerometer. This algorithm comprises two branches: one branch consists of a Long and Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM), while the other parallel branch incorporates a one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1DCNN). The parallel architecture of LSTM-1DCNN initially extracts spatial and temporal features from the accelerometer data separately, which are then concatenated and fed into a fully… More >

Abstract Privacy and trust are significant issues in intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Data security is critical in ITS systems since sensitive user data is communicated to another user over the internet through wireless devices and routes such as radio channels, optical fiber, and blockchain technology. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of connected, interconnected gadgets. Privacy issues occasionally arise due to the amount of data generated. However, they have been primarily addressed by blockchain and smart contract technology. While there are still security issues with smart contracts, primarily due to the complexity of writing the code, there are still… More >

Abstract The deployment of vehicle micro-motors has witnessed an expansion owing to the progression in electrification and intelligent technologies. However, some micro-motors may exhibit design deficiencies, component wear, assembly errors, and other imperfections that may arise during the design or manufacturing phases. Consequently, these micro-motors might generate anomalous noises during their operation, consequently exerting a substantial adverse influence on the overall comfort of drivers and passengers. Automobile micro-motors exhibit a diverse array of structural variations, consequently leading to the manifestation of a multitude of distinctive auditory irregularities. To address the identification of diverse forms of abnormal noise, this research presents a… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The wear of metal cutting tools will progressively rise as the cutting time goes on. Wearing heavily on the tool will generate significant noise and vibration, negatively impacting the accuracy of the forming and the surface integrity of the workpiece. Hence, during the cutting process, it is imperative to continually monitor the tool wear state and promptly replace any heavily worn tools to guarantee the quality of the cutting. The conventional tool wear monitoring models, which are based on machine learning, are specifically built for the intended cutting conditions. However, these models require retraining when the cutting conditions undergo any… More >

Abstract As Internet of Things (IoT) technology develops, integrating network functions into diverse equipment introduces new challenges, particularly in dealing with counterfeit issues. Over the past few decades, research efforts have focused on leveraging electromyogram (EMG) for personal recognition, aiming to address security concerns. However, obtaining consistent EMG signals from the same individual is inherently challenging, resulting in data irregularity issues and consequently decreasing the accuracy of personal recognition. Notably, conventional studies in EMG-based personal recognition have overlooked the issue of data irregularities. This paper proposes an innovative approach to personal recognition that combines a siamese fusion network with an auxiliary… More >
